container itself. Therefore, even if the container is not hot to the touch when removed from the oven,
the food/liquid inside will be hot/releasing the same amount of steam as in conventional cooking.
Always test the temperature of cooked food yourself, especially if you are heating or cooking food/liquid
for babies. It is recommended to never consume food/liquid straight from the oven – allow it to stand
for a few minutes and stir food/liquid to distribute the heat evenly.
Food containing a mixture of fat and water, eg stock, should stand for 30-60 seconds in the oven after it
has been turned off. This is to allow the mixture to settle and to prevent bubbling.
When preparing/cooking food/liquid, remember there are certain foods that heat up very quickly.
Do not use plastic containers when heating or cooking foods with high fat or sugar content.
